  1. A redemption allegory so poker-faced you might forget that redemption is supposed to be a good thing.
  2. 38
    An earnest but hopeless attempt to tell a parable about a man's search for redemption. By the end of his journey, we don't care if he finds redemption, if only he finds wakefulness.
  3. A film of almost paralyzing gravity and large ambitions that, almost inevitably, it can't quite meet.
